The Centre for Social Concern Proudly Presents

Monseñor Romero Vive! – Monsignor Romero Lives!

El Salvador: 28 years after a martyr’s death

Speaker: Rev. Roberto Pineda

Location: Wemple Student Lounge
Wednesday, March 19, 2008 @ 7:00pm

Sixteen years after the end of its civil war, El Salvador continues its struggle in search of peace. Currently,
Salvadorans live under the oppressive effects of the neo-liberal agenda
that has further polarized its social classes through free trade
agreements and repressive laws that impede genuine progress from
grassroots movements.

Rev.
Roberto Pineda is a Lutheran Church Pastor and a member of the popular
church movement that has rescued Monsignor Romero’s legacy to look
after the disadvantaged. Rev. Pineda will be heading a speaking tour
across Ontario, in which he will expose a vision of the current
situation of El Salvador.

This
event is brought to you by the Centre for Social Concern in cooperation
with LACASA (Latin American – Canadian Solidarity Association) &
COSPES (Committee of Solidarity with the People of El Salvador)
